Kirby School Farm, Stokesley TS9

Kirby School Farm began life as a village school in 1898 and has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a home rich in heritage and character. This rural property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history, complete with a charming and successful holiday cottage (417 sq. Ft) that provides excellent returns.

Kirby School Farm is a substantial period property of 3,336 sq. Ft, carefully extended and enhanced to create a character-filled country home. Set within 0.8 acres of mature and beautifully maintained gardens, this five-bedroom residence blends traditional features with a flexible layout, ideal for family life and entertaining.

The home retains a wealth of original period details, including parquet flooring, Victorian fireplaces, bay windows, and arched windows framing stunning countryside views. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed through an entrance porch into a spacious hallway, where a staircase rises towards views of the Cleveland Hills.

The ground floor offers a series of generous reception rooms, including a bright lounge with triple aspect views and an original fireplace, a cosy sitting room/snug with a west-facing window and multi-fuel stove, and a family/dining room with bay window and access to a conservatory overlooking the gardens. A home office with a Victorian fireplace enjoys open field views, while the kitchen features granite work surfaces, double electric ovens, an induction hob, integrated appliances, and three large windows that flood the room with natural light. Practical spaces include a utility/drying room with stainless steel sink and fitted cupboards, two entrance porches, and a cloakroom with W/C.

Upstairs, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms, several with fitted wardrobes and countryside views. A family bathroom and a separate shower room with vanity basin serve the accommodation, while a spacious landing with loft access and a feature arched window adds to the sense of character. The loft space is fully boarded, providing excellent storage or potential for further use.

Outside, the home is approached via a quiet lane with both north and south access. The grounds include expansive lawns, fruit trees, herbaceous borders, and a greenhouse.

The holiday cottage features open-plan living with exposed beams, a modern kitchen, two cosy bedrooms, and private outdoor seating. Offering guests the perfect blend of rustic character and comfort. In addition, there is another outbuilding on the grounds that provides scope to create a smaller one bedroom rental property, presenting excellent potential to further expand the business and enhancing the investment opportunities available.

Lawned areas to the north, south, and east frame the house beautifully.

The setting is one of the property’s true highlights, with uninterrupted views of Roseberry Topping, Captain Cook’s Monument, and rolling open countryside in every direction. Peaceful, private, and perfectly situated between two of North Yorkshire’s most desirable locations of Stokesley and Great Ayton.

Kirby School Farm is both a remarkable home and a rare lifestyle & business opportunity.
